[x] Dream With Me.
She stepped into my life as if
out of a dream
As if the conversation started long
before we met
Like I manifested her into being
Or made her in a lab
I was so blindsided by her depth
I got so hopelessly lost in her
that I would panic
Like holding astatine in my hands
Scared that this delicate dream could
break at any time
She insisted she wasn’t at all perfect
But she was perfect for me
Both of our hearts dipped darkly in
ink
Even though we were individually
complex – WE were simple
Our calendars never really lined
up – but we did the best we could with what we had
I swear time would stop when we were in sync
And I just wanted to live in those moments
forever
So happy I could just die in any of of them as long as she was there
She said – “Wanna dream with me?”
She dreamed of travel
So I got my passport
She dreamed of Victorian houses
So I got us a list of them to
look at
She liked to lay on the grass in
the sun
So I got us a big blanket
I hope that I bought her enough
small baubles to remind her of me
Maybe she’ll look at them and I
can still make her smile someday
Even though all she left me with
was dreams of her -
I hope that one day she’ll dream
of me in return
Even while the present was destined to fail us
I fell in love with a future that was never meant to be
I can’t fault her for why she can’t
be with me
But more than anything - I just
want her to stay warm
She was just here – on my couch
She was just here in my arms
She was just here in my heart
Now all we can be – are the
dreams we had
How do you move on from someone
that is one of one?
